Hey TFTV.

I'm proud to present the fifth TFTV Melee Netplay Tourney. It's been a long time since entry #4 and indecency forced me to do another.

Will toilethumor and chompsky enter the same tournament for once?
Will indecency get 5-0d by cloudmaker?
Will acooma show up and destroy everyone again?

None of these things will happen probably, but it's fun to imagine.

The tourney starts [b]Sunday, July 31st at 3pm EST[/b]. Signups are cutoff at [b]Saturday, July 30th at 12am EST[/b].

This tourney is going to be [b]free-entry[/b].

Bracket:

http://challonge.com/tftvmelee5

Rules:

[list]
[*] NA only
[*] We use a slightly edited version of the Smashboards ruleset, which you can see here:
http://smashboards.com/rulesets/melee/
Since pause is automatically left on by the Netplay settings, we can't turn it off; accidentally pausing mid-game still forfeits your stock.
Because we can't do RPS online, lower seed strikes first.
[*] Use Dolphin 5.0
[*] Double elim
[*] BO3 throughout, BO5 winners/losers semis/finals and grands (winner gets 1BO5 advantage in GFs)
[*] Forfeit rule: 10+ minutes late to your game is an automatic FFL (with exceptions due to extenuating circumstances, discuss with me [b]beforehand[/b])
[*] In a case of unplayable lag, or inability to connect, players can agree to play on a different Dolphin version. If the issues are not resolved, a TO will be called to determine if a forfeit is warranted. The lagging player also has the right to forfeit the match.

[b]PSA:
Please, if you sign up, actually make sure you can show up. I've had to DQ so many people every tourney I was thinking about just blacklisting the people that sign up and never show. Thanks.[/b]
